Helping Physicians Control Their Practice & Their Life
Physicians looking for more control over their practice and their life are increasingly looking to develop their own ambulatory surgery centers. Thanks to new technology and increased acceptance of outpatient surgery, the time is particularly good for neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, and ENT/otolaryngology and pain management specialists.
But successful ASC businesses require a solid platform of trust, dedication to a shared vision, and a strong financial model. That means:
- Selecting only the right surgeons to participate
- Leveraging best practices in ambulatory surgery center development and management
- Ensuring sufficient caseload and good contracts are in place
- Evaluating joint venture opportunities with hospitals and/or health systems
- Managing operational issues efficiently and effectively.
Finding the Right Partner
Blue Chip creates and manages world-class, multi-specialty outpatient surgery centers largely owned and led by physicians. Our projects are focused on clinical excellence, patient satisfaction, and the idea that physicians do their best work in facilities they control. We use proven win-win clinical and business models and best practices to minimize risk and build a foundation for long-term financial success.
Blue Chip works closely with physician groups to tailor the facilities to specific market conditions and opportunities, and ensure all partners understand their commitments and responsibilities. Typically our projects include 5-18 physicians, 2-4 operating rooms and 1,700-2,200 cases annually per OR. Initial investments aren’t small – $25,000-$60,000 per physician – but neither is the opportunity. Our proven approach typically leads to annual ROI of greater than 50%.
